THE BEST BOXERS ARE ON HBO, BUT HOW ABOUT THE OLDEST?

2.13.1996

     HBO Senior VP/Programming Lou DiBella will meet with George
Foreman to discuss his future on the network, according to
NEWSDAY's Steve Zipay.  DiBella said Foreman "has two separate
agreements with HBO, one to box and one as a commentator," but
both could be "affected by Foreman's announcement that he has a
release from promoter Bob Arum for three international fights on
network TV."  Fox and CBS are reportedly interested in carrying
those Arum-promoted fights, should they happen (NEWSDAY, 2/13).
